No excuse for not taking very many pictures this week except the typical busy-ness that is life. Must get back into the swing of everyday photography!!

Today's shot is a self-portrait, taken in the van while waiting for C to come back from a quick run into the store. I'm not sure why my hair always looks so red in pictures, it doesn't look that red in the mirror?

Finally got around to taking the J-man's mangled glasses back to the optician. They were able to bend them back fairly nicely, with only a little bit of missing paint. Hardly matters, getting him to keep them on his face is near impossible. 4 really is too young for glasses (yes, I know, Katie had them at three, but Katie is KATIE and Jonah is NOT).

Apparently coffee just isn't enough - the conference organizers had a pair of live bagpipers, accompanied by EXTREMELY loud recorded rock music. Hysterical laughter is indeed quite a way to perk up the morning :)

PS - they were actually very good, but man was that unexpected at a staid conference of health care professionals, accountants and regulators...

Check out my major score at the local Dollarama... sets of 5 coordinated spools of ribbon, nearly the same as American Crafts ribbons (1 meter of each pattern) for $1, packets of 36 bling brads, exactly like MM (in 6 different colours) for $1. My Dollarama rocks! It's hit and miss, but when they've just had a fresh shipment you can find some wicked little scrappin' treasures!

The next morning high winds and rain had flooded our makeshift fire pit on the beach (which is a pretty good ending actually when you think about it, no chance of setting the island on fire when your fire pit is under a couple of inches of water!)
